How about this?
Dear Abby,
I opened the door for my lady friend, but she didn't go to the kitchen where she belongs and make me a sandwich. What gives?
Sincerely,
The 1950s

Karma to whomever can finish that.
I sleep around... a lot. Especially for someone who has standards. I have friends who do it more, but I'd just as soon shoot myself then be with someone like they're with. This is not a superficial thing, just an attitude thing. I will not sleep with someone who does not seem like an intelligent, healthy, ambitious individual.
Although truth be told I generally sleep with them before I get to know them very much.
Then I get bored and leave once I get to know them. Usually takes about 2 week, though this last one lasted a month (yay, I'm getting better!).
So yeah, what gives?
Your mother didnt hug you enough as a child. This in concert with your total g33k classification through High School
(also known as 'the virgin years') is working itself out now as you interact with women. You are compensating for past rejections by being a complete skag.
Howz that?

Meh. Family stuff is entirely inaccurate. Parents still together, had enough attention, heck, I still visit them when I can.
Apathy prevented me from trying more than I got rejected, though I could see the making up for lost time.
I'm a little curious of one thing here. Where do you go to find all of these girls Fish? You go to bars and just pick up random girls? Are you by yourself or are you with others when you do so? Just trying to get a feel of you here.

Learning how to network and get referals has many advantages.
Love has no age rules, well, almost none. I would say in this case, the guy is 26 and has seen enough to know what he wants. And obviously she has seen enough to know what she wants.
My parents were not really close in age, but they felt the spark and made a great life for themselves, so I don't see why these two can't either.
In the end, you do what makes you happy. If whoring it up at the local watering hole is your thing, then kudos to you. If they want to enjoy each others company for the foreseeable future, then that is their choice, and more power to them.
You are a hockey player living in LA! There is no need to settle at this time in your life. Bringing sand to the beach has always been a sin in my life.
I respect the love aspect, however, a 26 year old hockey player has no clue what is really love!
Hang with the boys and have fun, you will have plenty of time to settle down when you are in your 30's.
I guess growing up in So-Cal, I had other beliefs and settling down in my 20's was not one of them and when you are a sports figure in LA it is even more of a challenge. Good luck to him!

Some guys clearly DON'T get it. They spend a lot of time reading books or internet sites that tell them to be cool and act like they are not interested in a girl as the best way to get her attention. Obviously, sitting in your car and keeping the door locked is really NOT a step in the right direction.
It's easy to say "if you like him, just forget about it and don't bring it up," but in reality, that isn't always the best advice.
You let the little things slide by, and soon enough you are in a relationship where you have a laundry list of things that bother you, and THAT becomes your focus more often then not.
On the first few dates I would wholly expect the guy to park, get out of his car and come to your door. If he is too good for that, then he has to park and get his lazy ass up, and open your door for you, FROM THE OUTSIDE. The lean and open from the inside is like a weak ass attempt at doing the right thing.
I would bring it up to him the next time he does it, make a joke about it, just to bring it to his attention. Something like "hey, any reason why you leave the door locked when I come down? I'm pretty sure they caught the Hillside Strangler a LONG time ago, and I feel like a 12 year old waiting for a ride home from soccer practice when I grab the handle and the door is locked."
That should get your point across without appearing needy.
And if he doesn't open doors for you and let you order first, don't expect him to do that 5 years from now either. Men don't change, they adapt, but they don't change. What you see is pretty much what you can expect to see down the line too, so don't go into it thinking you can bend them to your will.
And even if you succeed at changing something about them, it's not the real them you are getting when you do that.
That's awesome!
You're amazing!
The soccer analogy was just the right amount of levity. Thanks for getting me to lighten up.
I never thought about appearing NEEDY.
The very last thing I am is needy. But I would hate for a guy to see that as some kind of fact and then be afraid to insult me by opening my door for me.
This is complicated, no?
I went out with a new guy last night.
This one may be too "nice". I need a guy that is manlier than I am.
What's the best way to bring the testerone level up a notch with the "nice" guys, hmmm?

Thanks Sleestack!!
*I feel like Goldilocks.
I'm not kidding when I say this: If you guys mess around, give him the chance to take charge. I'm not saying necessarily sleep with the guy. Not sure what you wanna do with the man. But if you have a way to coax him into taking charge, he'll feel manly and more testosterone will flow.
On the other hand, if you're obvious about the fact that you want him to take charge and he doesn't, that's a bad sign if you don't want someone so "nice"
